General information
WeOnlyDo! SmtpServer ActiveX control is a component that can be
easily integrated into your applications to provide full relaying
Smtp (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server implementation. All you need to do is to put it on VB form, call it's
Start method and it's immediately accepting connections by your
clients! It fully supports commands defined in RFC2821.
Use your favorite mail client (such as Outlook Express or Eudora) to send
mail to other users on your network . How? That's easy part: just put
SmtpServer control on your form, add some code around and it's all setup to be
used.
If you dislike adding additional code - it's fine by Smtp. It will still
work, and accept all emails but delete them immediately after user disconnects. But, if
you define real filename on your disk, all the emails will be stored to that
file. Still,
if you want to make real Smtp server application, look no more for native
support for socket related material - you just found it.
How it works?
wodSmtpServer will deal with clients and connections - you must deal with
messages. Once new user connects to your Smtp server, you need to provide some
way of storing message posted by user to some file on disk, or just read it
from Body property and store manually to, for example, database. This is really easy task. If you keep all
the emails in separate files, that's just great for usage with WeOnlyDo! Smtp
server. If you prefer to keep it in one large file - we will not argue about
it. You can specify filename, make Smtp server Append to that file, and
everything will still work just great. As a result, you will have one mailbox
for each user just like on UNIX computers.
Together with WeOnlyDo! Pop3 server, you can make powerful fully maintained
mail service application that will share emails in your company, receive them
from internet and anything else you can imagine. You can even create emails
for your employees on the fly. You can make Smtp store to same files from
where Pop3 reads them - and it's all built in WeOnlyDo! Smtp and Pop3
servers.
Integrated authentication
If you want to force users to authenticate, wodSmtpServer has the answer. It
supports LOGIN, PLAIN and CRAM-MD5 authentications, either allowed or
required. It will internally disallow users to post their messages if you say
so. If you're not interested in authentication, just say so! wodSmtpServer
will accept all clients in that case.
Relaying support!
We have added support for relaying of messages whose destination is not on your wodSmtpServer. We made it so easy for you.. just as
1..2..3.. One line, like this:
wodSmtpServer1.Relays.Add User.Message
is all you need to forward message to destination SMTP server.
Relaying is not performed by default due to security
reasons. As you can see, you can easily decide what messages should be relayed
and what shouldn't.
SSL Encryption
Since version 2.1.0.0, wodSmtpServer supports SSL encryption both for the server and relays. You can specify if SSL encryptionis optional, required, or SmtpServer only accepts already SSL-ed connections (on port 465 usually). We have added wodCertificate component to manage certificates to be used with SSL, for free.
Additional notes
NOTE: In DEMO version you cannot change GreetingMessage property.
